Toggle switch ideas?
I have an 86 F150 and there is this stupid blank spot above the radio. Some had an xlt emblem there, but even that seems kinda lame to me. I was thinking it would look cool with 4 toggle switches mounted there, and the black color of the "plate" over the silver would almost look like a custom switch panel after installed.
Only problem, I don't know what I could hook up 4 switches too. I don't have any power accessories (like windows or locks) or extra lights.
It would really be lame to have 4 switches that didn't do anything!
I'll probably never do it, but I like to dream.

nick....For a toggle switch ignition, you'd need at least 2 (one to simulate the key being in the RUN position, and a spring-loaded switch for the starter), and maybe a third for the accessories only being on. A fourth that is pretty common would be an electric fan, if you have one or are planning on ever getting one. I guess it could also be for your headlights or radio. Just some ideas.

I've already got the digital clock in the upper panel. Don't need a voltmeter, have the factory amps guage.
I don't know if I really want to set it up like a race car ignition.
I was thinking about putting in fog lights, that's one switch.
If I ever put in power windows that would be two more, and power locks could be another.
I don't have any immediate plans to put in power windows or locks though.
